Re: SUBARU BRAT! "AM I NUTS"

I did not drive the new brat home! The seller failed to accurately describe the condition of it, he only sent me picks that did not show all the rust it had, in fact when I asked about rust he told me it had none! The bed was so bad he tried to cover it with herculiner. This is the CL ad

I have an amazing 1984 Subaru Brat for sale. I do not really need to sell it, just don't have much use for it any more. This is without a doubt one of the nicest brat still in existence! It runs amazing and has all of the classic accessories. It has the roll bar, bull bar, jump seats with seatbelts, flood lights, and removable t-tops. This car has been garage kept the entire time I have owned it and I have done very little work to it. It recently had the entire fuel system replaced and a new transmission put in. The car has about 190K miles on it but the dash reads over 300K because it was replaced by the previous owner who restores cars. I recently got an oil change and the mechanic said everything was in amazing condition for a 30 year old car. This is a great summer car but it also does awesome in the snow because it has 4wd both high and low gear.*

He was very upset even went as far as saying that we had a verbal agreement!
I even gave him 40.00 for meeting half way....
I wish people would accurately describe the condition of the vehicle they are selling, I always send pics of the problems and damage that a rig that I'm selling has to avoid this from happening.
Search goes on.....

Re: SUBARU BRAT!

Are we going to need a BRAT forum?

Re: SUBARU BRAT!

Nice Brat, but I may be more nuts. For some reason a friend and I bought this last weekend for an around town ride this summer.



Wife is having a hard time understanding. Can't help but to have a smile on my face driving it though.

(not meaning to hijack)

Hope that .50 BAR doesn't get too hot.

Re: SUBARU BRAT! "AM I NUTS"

That is sweet! Worth the wait. I can't recall the last time I even saw a BRAT in person, and you found three in quick succession. I guess here on the east coast they've all succumbed to rust :-(
